Its only a couple of weeks to the Fourth. Are you planning for a big day at Bellmont park with the rest of the folks? The Pennsylvania primary and its investigation and the bitter squabble over farm relief has at least made a lot of people forget "Ma" Ferguson and the petty problems of Texas. Claude G. Bowers, now of the New York World and former editorial writer for the Fort Wayne JournalGazette was one of five noted persons to whom honorary degrees were given yesterday at Tuft’s college. Mr. Bowers is recognized as one of America's leading historians, students and writers and is just now receiving many honors due him. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon league has been subpoened to appear before the senate investigating committee to testify in the Pennsylvania primary case, which will give Senator Reed the opportunity he has long sought to question him regarding expenditures of the league to control elections. The mix-up gets muddier all the time and soon we won't be able to see through it at all. Complaints continue to come in concerning the condition of the new penetrated state road north 'bf here. On warm days it is almost impassable unless you wish to pay twelve or fifteen dollars to have your car washed or do that much work yourself. Wonder why they don't put some screenings on the road and 'make it possible for the good people of this section to use the highway now that they have it. We're all for the road but not just to look at. we'd like to use it occasionally. Ball Brothers, of Muncie, have made millions of dollars manufacturing glass fruit jars and most people of Indiana are L’lad they are the boys to have made this great profit because they have helped many causes so liberally. Their latest philanthropy is the donation of a half million dollars to the Riley Memorial hospital, a great institution doing a great work. The people of Indiana should and we believe do sincerely appreciate the splendid spirit of these business men who are giving their money to big causes and enjoying the benefits derived by those who need what it brings. Every citizen in this section should become a member of the Benjamin Franklin highway association. It costs but one dollar with no assessments and many benefits. We confidently believe the road wil eventually become the greatest east and west highway in America and those who become members now will be recognized as the builders, doing a great work tor the future. These trunk line roads are more important now than were railroads fifty years ago and those towns and cities which secure them will be the recognized business and home centers in a few years. Efforts to secure a thousand members in Adams county will be made and when you get yous letter in a few days, sign the application, return it with one dollar and get your caid. The industrial east has felt prosperous because it has been drinking high-tariff hooch. Their prosperity

has been based not on real earnings but on paternalistic treatment under the Fordney-McCumber act. This trust und that trust receives a degree of governmental protection It doos not need. With combines in control of the domestic market and with a wall to keep out foreign compete tion, they have been able to Inflate prices unfairly and unnaturally. The cost of this has been tremendous and It is shitted mostly to the farmer, who has no way whereby he may get from under. The farmer is paying for the party but he is allowed no seat at the table, Two years ago our people knocked eagerly at the door when the McNary-Haugen bill was up, but they were told to go way back and sit down amid their own sturdy virtues. This year the corn-belt men have tried the same thing and they have met with the same chilly treatment. Is it surprising that there is something doing? Need there be any astonishment that three administration senators have tasted the dust of defeat?—The East Oregonian.

The three youths — Leonard Rich, 20; Stanley Hurt, 20; and Emerson Wilson. 21. were sentenced last night by Judge WilliamiJ. Fulton after the court had heard their version of the assault which was offered in mitigation of the crime. Maximum penalty for the offense under Illinois statutes is life imprisonment but the boys had hoped to escape punishment by their testimony that Miss Westervelt had not resisted their advances. They took the sentences with only slight evidence of emotion. — o Euo Lankeuau. of the General Electric Company, is attending the fireman's convention at Indianapolis.

TWO MEN KILLED • BY FIREWORKS Fatal Explosion Occurs At Religious Celebration At Youngstown, Ohio Youngstown. Ot, June 17. — (Unitqjl I’resa.) —Two men were killed and a third man and a girl were seriously injured in a fireworks explosion during a religious celebration at Shpoks Field, Brier Hill, last uigbt, it became known today. N The celebration was undpr the auspices of St. Rosoo’s Catholic church and three of those killed or injured had come here to supervise the pyrotechnic display. Frank Poluso, 18, and Joseph Vital, 24. both from Newcastle, Pa., were killed and Peter J. todlce, 24. Youngstown and Miss Beatrice Forbes, 20, Newcastle, were injured.

Ind., June 17 —(United Press)—An actual monetary loss of $7,200 is suffered by state and nation time a child in its “teens" dies, according to a bulletin issued today, by the Indiana Tuberculosis Associai ** yr" z ,|o< Make a Picture of it Even- day in the week there is sure to be something you’d like a picture of—and weekends and holidays there are chances galore.

tion. The bulletin quotes figures from statistice recently released by a prominent lite Insurance company which estimate that it costs the average family that amount to raise a child to eighteen years ot age. If every death among children of thus age each year from tuberculosis, was totaled and the total multiplied by $7,200. the bulletin points oifW the amount would run into millions ot dollars. It is estimated that of the $7,200, an average of only $284 is expended tor the protection of the child’s health. Untiring work on the part of antituberculosis associations, the bulletin states, has succeeded in saving a great deal of this economic loss and and as a result the death rate in Indiana. per 100,000 persons, has decreased from 163.9 in 1909 to 83 in 1925 .
